Abstract: The disclosure provides a frequency support method, device and wind farm for a wind farm and belongs to the technical field of new energy power generation and grid connection. In the frequency support method, a state that can reflect a frequency modulation capability of a wind turbine is designed, measured, and recorded as a consistency factor of frequency modulation. Each wind turbine is controlled to exchange the consistency factors with two adjacent wind turbines. Each wind turbine combines its own consistency factors with the consistency factors of two adjacent wind turbines to generate consistent added power through a PI link and adjusts real-time frequency modulation output based on the consistency added power. In this way, the states of the wind turbines in the wind farm are similar during the frequency support process, so that a reasonable distribution of frequency support power is achieved.

Abstract: Carbon nanofiber doped alumina (Al-CNF) supported MoCo catalysts in hydrodesulfurization (HDS), and/or boron doping, e.g., up to 5 wt % of total catalyst weight, can improve catalytic efficiency. Al-CNF-supported MoCo catalysts, (Al-CNF-MoCo), can reduce the sulfur concentration in fuel, esp. liquid fuel, to below the required limit in a 6 h reaction time. Thus, Al-CNF-MoCo has a higher catalytic activity than Al—MoCo, which may be explained by higher mesoporous surface area and better dispersion of MoCo metals on the AlCNF support relative to alumina support. The BET surface area of Al—MoCo may be 75% less than Al-CNF-MoCo, e.g., 166 vs. 200 m2/g. SEM images indicate that the catalyst nanoparticles can be evenly distributed on the surface of the CNF. The surface area of the AlMoCoB5% may be 206 m2/g, which is higher than AlMoCoB0% and AlMoCoB2%, and AlMoCoB5% has the highest HDS activity, removing more than 98% sulfur and below allowed levels.
